ORIGINAL WW1 – 30s GREEN GERMAN FLYERS HELMET SZ 58-59 OILED & SMOOTH FLEXIBLE! CLEAN INSIDE GOGGLES ARE LONG MISSING CUSHIONS, POSSIBLE DELAM? OR ORIGINAL YELLOW TINT??
I have here what I believe to be a Bulgarian contract Luger magazine. The serial number stamping and the plating of the metal parts are what lead me to believe this but you be the judge. The serial number is stamped opposite of normal German magazines, 7032. Plating is coming off and there are a couple rust spots on the body of the magazine. The spring is strong and follower is intact. The wood base plate is cracked but remains in position.
This is an original Imperial Japanese Army commemorative photo album documenting the Manchuria garrison period, dating to the Taisho era (circa 1910s), prior to World War II. The album was compiled as a “Manchuria Garrison Commemoration” (/) and contains period photographs illustrating military life, training, ceremonies, maneuvers, and surrounding landscapes during Japan’s early military presence in Manchuria. Unlike later wartime propaganda materials, this album reflects an early stage of Japanese continental deployment, when garrison duty emphasized discipline, formation training, field exercises, and symbolic military rituals. Contents & Historical Context. The photographs include, but are not limited to. Military formations and drills. Infantry training exercises and field maneuvers. Artillery and live-fire training scenes. Ceremonial flag displays and inspections. Garrison facilities and barracks. Surrounding Manchurian landscapes, farmland, and local environments. Civilian scenes offering rare contextual insight into the region during this period. These images collectively document the daily operational reality of a Japanese Army garrison unit stationed in Manchuria during the Taisho period, a time that is comparatively underrepresented in surviving photographic records. The Taisho era represents a transitional phase in Imperial Japanese military history-situated between the Russo-Japanese War and the later escalation of continental warfare in the 1930s. As such, this album is valuable not only as a military artifact, but also as a primary visual source for researchers studying. Early Japanese military administration in Manchuria. Pre-World War II garrison life. The evolution of training doctrine and military organization. Colonial-era regional landscapes and civilian life. Albums of this nature were typically produced in limited numbers, often for internal commemoration, making complete surviving examples increasingly scarce. Size: 22 × 15 cm. Covers are missing (removed), as shown. Pages show age-related wear, toning, stains, and minor damage. Overall condition is consistent with an original photographic album of this age. Please review all images carefully. No modern reproductions or reprints-this is an original period item. Notes for Collectors & Institutions. This item is offered strictly as a historical artifact and research material. No political ideology is endorsed or implied. Serious collectors of early Imperial Japanese military material.
